Selfish or not if they know they dont want them its better to stick to that than destroy some kids life by not being wanted. Enough abortions and such in this world already.

I've loved every dog I owned. I'd have shot it in the face if it looked at one of my kids the wrong way. Your's too.

Nuff said.

Not sure I understand your question, are you suggesting that mass immigration is taking place because people are to selfish to have children?

I am just doing my income tax and think that some guys can deduct all of their kids medical expenses from their income tax that I should be able to deduct all my vet bills from my income tax.

I actually think you're onto something here.

Abuse of animals is criminized almost at the same level as abuse of children. Not that I don't agree that any type of abuse of animals is sickening, but we need to keep in mind these are animals, not people.

What bothers you exactly? That some people treat their pets like children or that those who abuse animals are subject to criminal charges?

I treat my dog pretty well, he's a member of the family, I do draw the line at doggy strollers and realize at the end of the day, he's just a "dog". We don't love him any less or anymore than we would the children of our family, we love him differently because he's a member of the family.

Those who abuse animals should be charged and it should be steep, sociopaths often start on animals and move their way up to humans. It takes a special kind of person to abuse a helpless being, animal or human and these type of people don't need to be wandering around in society.

Me and the dog just hotboxed the truck went on some logging roads .the dog seems to enjoy smoking a little hash and going for a jaunt I'm the old pickup. I'd never smoke any dope with my kids till they were at least 20. My 4 year old golden retriever loves it. It's not cruel at all. The dog enjoys it when I take out the Marijuana and start to whine with excitement. I would never take my 12 year old out into the woods and hotboxed the pickup truck. No j dknt treat my dog like my kids. Me and the dog are buddies. Sometimes she will have a little rum or beer with her steak as well. The dog gets treated well. So do the kids. It's a wonderful world

In the end, who cares? If someone wants to treat their pet as well as their kids, let them. It has zero effect on you.

I agree, I will never complain about someone treating their pet too nice. We have three dogs, and they are treated very well, but so were the children.

I am relieved that some people choose not to have children. Some people are too lazy or to clueless to raise children, so society is better of because they choose not to have children.

Not having kids is selfish now? I don't think we as a population need to be constantly growing.

I also have met more people who have children that are a waste of skin and a drain on society then people who chose to have no children or have 1 or 2 children.
